Immunohistochemical distribution of the receptor for advanced glycation end products in neurons and astrocytes in Alzheimer’s disease
Abstract
Advanced glycation end products (AGE) and the receptor for AGE (RAGE) have been implicated in the chronic complications of diabetes mellitus (DM), and have been reported to play an important role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). In this study, we established a polyclonal anti-RAGE antibody, and examined the immunohistochemical localization of amyloid beta protein (Abeta), AGE, and RAGE in neurons and astrocytes from patients with AD and DM. Our anti-RAGE antibody recognized full-length RAGE (50 kd) and N-terminal RAGE (35 kd) in human brain tissue. Abeta-, AGE-, and RAGE-positive granules were identified in the perikaryon of hippocampal neurons (especially from CA3 and CA4) in all subjects. The distribution and staining pattern of these immunopositive granules showed good concordance with each antibody. In AD, most astrocytes contained both AGE-and RAGE-positive granules and their distribution was almost the same. Abeta-positive granules were less common, but Abeta-, AGE-, and RAGE-positive granules were colocalized in one part of a single astrocyte. In DM patients and control cases, AGE-and RAGE-positive astrocytes were very rare. These finding support the hypothesis that glycated Abeta is taken up via RAGE and is degraded through the lysosomal pathway in astrocytes. In addition to the presence of AGE, the process of AGE degradation and receptor-mediated reactions may contribute to neuronal dysfunction and promote the progression of AD.

In the citing paper
“AGEs and the receptor for advanced glycation end-products (RAGE) can play an important role in AD pathogenesis as higher levels of RAGE expression in neuronal, microglial, and endothelial cells in patients with AD compared with age-matched, non- demented controls are found [43,44,45,46].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
